the public sex discussion that this site has been having the past few days is interesting to me because it's all spoken in hypothetical. I can't tell if that's just the nature of the discussion, or if really most people haven't actually encountered it before. hang on

have you actually encountered public sex/masturbation before?

yes, somewhere "expected" (like a club)

yes, somewhere "unexpected" (like a sidewalk or park)

yes, in both of the above places

no, never

ya'll who's up for group meowing

[narwhalsarefalling]

the aircraft emergency frequency (known as GUARD in the usa) is SUPPOSED to be used for emergencies. the frequency is 121.5 mhz. it is for all international air distress and emergencies and stuff (theres a different one for military)

however. for some goddamn reason. for at least the past ten years (maybe more) there has been meowing. random pilots going “meowww!” on the emergency frequency. this is often followed by at least 8 different people yelling “GUARRRRD” “YOUR ON GUARD” “STOP FUCKING MEOWING” and at least 3 others meowing also.

i have a radio and often tune into this frequency if i want to hear local airplane pilots/control tower operators act like absolute fools.

here’s some operators using GUARD to try to contact a flight that went missing (they found them) and just the absolute nonsense, the one guy spamming caribbean music, the voice changer, and the meowing and guard police are so fucking funny. GUARD is always doing shit like this. its great. (note that he isnt on the frequency until 1:30, so the other shit is just normal coworker conversations. “who the fuck eats honeydew” is just two coworkers not abusing resources).

usually radio etiquette is a lot more professional for these guys but mistakes do happen. people tend to be pretty quick on the jokes tho. if you ever want to listen to the funniest shit ever a lot of amateur radio operators upload the funniest dialogue they catch on youtube pretty often.

@antifatemptress is this true?

[antifatemptress]

Yes, unfortunately this is true. Pilots are children. And since we're all legally obligated to monitor guard at all times when able, these guys know they always have an audience. Things I've also heard on guard include:

• someone barking, which was nice variety and very much appreciated to see more canine representation in my field

• airline captains making full cabin announcements, not realizing they were transmitting, followed by several other pilots asking questions as if they were in the cabin

• airline captain making about half a cabin announcement before stopping cold, pausing for about 3 seconds, and mumbling "...I am so fucking sorry," then presumably making the announcement again to his actual cabin

• two pilots for different airlines speaking Italian to each other (one of these was actually my captain, the other guy was a friend from his last job)

• pilot doing a radio shockjock voice saying "aaalrighty folks you're listening to one-twenty-one-point-five the GUARRRRRRD, bringing you the lastest in aviation disasters, mishaps, and tragedieesss! Up next, four more hours of nonstop cat soundssssss!"

passively scrolling animal/plant/fungi ID subreddits for 9,537 hours will have you identifying organisms and not knowing how. i'll just be like carpet beetle inky cap northern flicker no i don't know how to tell

[kelpforestdwellers]

it's very cool actually. it feels like the way little kids learn language, naturally through exposure and pattern recognition. i'm not confident In my IDs, because i can't back them up with evidence, but i don't need to be because i'm not doing anything with any stakes, like foraging or commenting to say what i think it is. nothing happens if im wrong

[kelpforestdwellers]

you can tell by the way it looks

This version of the progress flag legitimately looks so nice

my whole life i’ve said i literally just don’t have muscle memory and it turns out that’s part of my actual condition! i’ve explained it as “i basically have no muscle memory” but that’s literal. and i didn’t know. Like my whole life i’ve been unable to do jumping jacks. and i had to be taught at like 9 years old how to skip with help from a trained professional. and then all my trouble trying to learn instruments. And Practicing literally never helping. And i learn this at 19.

I went back and did some digging, because it occured to me that I didn't know the date reference of this story and, sadly, there are way too many stories about school lunch debt that they're easy to mix up.

This particular story was from July 2019 (I reblogged it Sept 2022).

There was a relevant update within a week of the scandal: public outrage was swift, the embarrassed school board redacted the outrageous allusions to indebted students ending up in foster care, and it accepted the CEO's $20k donation.

It doesnt change the fact that the very concept of "school lunch debt" is disturbing and inhumane (and there are still stories about children...with lunch debt...). And clearly, the district changed it's tone because it didn't like the bad PR. But figured it was helpful to have more info and context.

Here are some of the relevant sources; each offer bits of info unique to each specific source:

1) "Pennsylvania school district turns down local businessman’s offer to pay off student lunch debts"

2) "Pennsylvania district sorry it warned that lunch debt could lead to foster care, accepts $22K donation"

3) "Pa. School District Reverses Course And Will Now Accept Donations To Cover Lunch Debt"

4) "Pennsylvania school lunch debt furor ends with an apology and an announcement: free lunch for all"

If you encountered strangers having sex in a public space, would you actually be upset on a personal level?

No

Yes

Explain your answer in the notes.

[balaclava-trismegistus]

I'm noticing most of the "yes" responses are saying something to the effect of "well some people may be really upset by that" or "children might see it". This is about YOU. This is about how YOU feel for YOURSELF. Not a hypothetical third party.
